About the race
4Rest Run is a unique event close to nature. You get a chance to enjoy beautiful paths of Puszcza Niepołomicka. Far from smog, noise and hard pavement. You can participate individually in 5 km or 10 km races. For 10 km there will be optional group (4 people) classification that you might have expected from previous years.
We would like to welcome all the runners, with special focus on those living nearby and employed by local companies and organizations. Come and join us on Sunday, September 20th.
Race course & time limits
2026 edition of the race will feature two new race courses — depending on the distance (5km or 10km). With start and finish close to the bib pick-up station.
The course will run on the forest paths. You can expect mud, dirt, gravel. Animals might be crossing your paths. While it’s possible to run with your headphones we would advise against it. Try to listen to the birds’ song instead.
